BOOK REVIEW

A portrait ofa spy _

ae GERARD McNEIL
By the time fags James Bennett, who had spent 12 years
with British intelligence, joined the RCMP Security Service.
in in 1954, the service director, Jimmy Lemieux, was using a
d Long : Knife ‘as an

“Lemieux, an old-line policemar dropped into the post
for a promotion, had.small interest’ in‘security work and
operated ‘in tho aristocratic style,”. writes author John
‘Sawateky in For Services Rendered, a detailed examination

of the suspicions that led the RCMP to get rid of Bennett, its .

brightest counter-intelligence man, in 1972.

~..“For him, Long Knife was a dandy errand runner whom
he pressed into service when he could not justify. an official
‘driver. Consequently, Long Knife was pulled off surveillance
from time to time to pick up Lemieux’s family at the train
station, deliver his laundry and drive to) Montreal to pick up

his: favorite comics.” __
* Long Knife, up to his neck in debt, ¥ was used by another |

RCMPofficer to deliver a monthly envelope containing

$1,000 in cash to the president's office at the Bel! telephone

- company for company help in bugging patrons’. telephones.

Long Knife steals a couple of envelopes to pay personal

debts and ‘when found out, is ordered. to repay the money
within a week.

The desperate Long Krife contacts a Soviet Embassy

official and is paid $4,200 for disclosing that‘a Soviet agent in ”.

Hionireal has been turned into-a double agent by the
Security Service.
The Montreal ° agent ‘who might have been of
help to, the is ick to
Moseow. Long Knife, as‘ punishment. for Saale the
telephone company money, is sent to Manitoba.

No longer in the Security Service, he is unable to get
more money from the Sovist Embassy because he has
nothing to sell. He confesses to the RCMP, hoping they will
use him’as a double agent against the Russians.

‘Betrays
agent’

Instead, they bust him and have him charged with
illegally raising.the printed value of a cheque. He gets a
two-year susperided sentence and is ordered to pay resti-
‘tution. The Mounties don’t want to charge him with espion-
age because it ‘would make the force look bad.

The betrayal of the Montreal agent is among a long line
of failures that led the Mounties to suspect a Soviet “mole”
was in their midst. The suspicion focuses upon Bennett and
becomes riveted when the Mounties learn that in his child-

hood in the coal-mining country of Wales, an. unde had
Communist associations. z
BENNETT QUESTIONED

In May, 1972, after 18 years as a civilian member of the :
: Security Service, most of it 'as Head of:the Russian Desk,

Bennett is interrogated about loyalty...’

The Mounties suspect he is a “mole”: for the KGB Soviet
secret service but by the end of this-fascinating: book, the
reader will probably conclude, as Sawatsky has in’ inter-
views, that the smartest, most dédicatcd msn in the
Security Service was deliberately set up and destroyed
professionally by the KGB.

By the end of the interrogation, Murray Sexsmith, the
tough officer who leads it, tells Bennett: “I don’t believe in
any way you have been a KGB agent.”

But the damage has been done. Bennett is offered
another government job, at $5,000 a year less than he was
earning, but decides to take a medical pension and retire to
Australia.

‘He can't get another job anywhere in security. For the
last 10 years, he has been supplementing the pension with
money from odd jobs’ in Perth.

‘Parallels’
other book’

The Sawatsky book parallels 8, Portrait Of A Spy,

_ written by Ian Adams of Toronto and published in 1977.

Bennett sued Adams and was awarded $30,000 last year, as
well as'a ruling that the book must carry a disclaimer stating
that S wasn't Bennett.

During the lawsuit, it wes established that Bennett had
no income other than his pension and ‘odd job money. ‘In
other. words, nobody was making life comfortable for him.

His ion in 1972: ded with the
of the end for the RCMP Security: Service. Since then its
members. shave been accused of burning barns, stealing
and opening

These fone. in what the Security: Service termed the
“war” on Quebec terrorism were made: public in the late
1970s, The federal government. responded by last year
announcing that |a ‘civilian agency would be created to
replace the RCMP. Security Service.

As far back as the mid-1950s,: some Mounties them- |

gusse had advocated this. The. reasons become clear in
Sawatsky’s detailed and even-handed account of how the
Mounties got one of their own: best men,

Recently Bill was presented with a plaque from the °
